There have been reports that companies such as Apple (maybe others) are planning an update to disable the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) which is mandated by law on all smart phones. While we cannot confirm this, it is clear that actions are being directed against certain platforms and individuals due in part to certain political agendas. These actions have escalated since January 6, 2021, and taking place in a coordinated fashion.
As a pro-active measure, we strongly suggest persons receiving this message do the following:
1. Disable the auto-update feature on all network connected two-way communication devices. This would include smartphones, tablets, laptops, even watches. At the time of this writing, information on how to update these settings are still searchable. There are technical work arounds if updates are needed.
2. To all small and medium business using cloud based services: We suggested a nightly backup of all sensitive data to a local drive (i.e. detachable from the downloading device) with a routine retention policy (e.g. delete backups after a certain number of days). Note to businesses: Your company web staff should know how to do this, but insist that you - and not the web staff have a copy in your possession. All persons should download and keep hard copies of your personal contacts in case of operating system error.
3. Obtain the IP address of your websites where you receive information important to you. Use this in the event of domain traffic interruption.
That is all.
Yeah nothing to gain by cheating an election either because the Republicans will put a stop to it. Oops.
That would be a coup and whoever does that would be guilty of leaving Americans in peril. Trump is still POTUS.
data has to get from some place to some place...
he who owns the hubs of data traffic owns the world.

And supporting the Patriot Community
I dont know much, and your credentials are yours, My choice is to believe that the EAS can be stopped by DNS poisoning, Router stream flooding, and it is btw transmitted throughout the USA by internet, not tv towers or radio towers or carrier pigeons. Today we have the net, they may have a fall back satellite to ground stations , even old copper core telephone lines.... I think you will find it is spread by the net.... and it is sent out by radio tv satellite, as an output.
But who am I , just doing my bit to help let those here have contactable points to get info... DOING.
if you think the EAS is some sacred cow that cannot be taken down selectively your missing the coup, WE Patriots are Not.
he who owns the routers owns the world.
I just go an alert on my phone that an update is coming out this evening.
bttt
Just did it. Thanks
Then clearly you are not a Communist.
Too many tap water drinking beta cucks, robbed of their essence...
respectful of your thoughts...
one though is the use of two that I SMH over
“” BY LAW “”
Welcome to the coup
Hows that Election Fraud and Totalitarian ILLEGAL efforts you have seen so far doing for you
When in doubt think on the side of OH CRAP my lying Eyes as seeing reality, that may save your skin.
Wow talk about stupid logic. Meanwhile answer the question: what do they ACTUALLY GAIN turning EBS off on phones? Really, THINK ABOUT IT. And if you can’t give me a REAL answer understand what that means.
Short wave and police scanners are your friends.
My brother got an alert too.
He only noticed due to my alerting him.
Interesting times...
Trust me, I get it.
I would hope that they realize that if the Left screws with the EAS, they could very well be cutting their own throats in case something that needed to get out, couldn’t.
But they have a tendency to operate out of a lack of logic.
Respectfully replied, thank you.
Respectfully received.
Heh. And here I thought my charm was the reason for the uptick in my social life.
An IP address Is not the same as knowing the web address.
If you type in free republic.com a DNS server changes that to an IP address.
I’m a computer software engineer but I don’t do a lot of inter-webs stuff.
But I’ve said for years if you maintain your entire business “in the cloud” you are an idiot... Who do you think controls “the cloud”?
Make physical backups and Start moving things locally today not tomorrow not sometime this week.
